A sour readers know the Dominion Gov-

ernment has, through various boards and commissions, made an estimate of the av-' ailable resources of Canada in men and material, in food, in cash, in natural and_ artificial products, present and prospect-2 ive. From these data they are in a po§itionf to gauge with approximate accuracy the' immediate future and they have accord-| ingly issued a solemn warning to the p_co- ple of Canada; that warning is Economise.

It is not necessary to point out to our

readers the fact that money is flowing: more freely today than ever before, nor is! it necessary to discuss the reason for this' Briefiy, there is more money flowing be-_ cause money is more abundant than everi before, because of higher prices for pro- ducts, whether agricultural, iiidustrial,! professional or commercial. Wages arei higher than ever befoi'e;_ and although thef necessaries and the luxuries are higher there is more money to buy them with. This abundance has produced in too many cases a reckless extravagance, a slap-dash expenditure and, with it, little or no thought for the future. 1

Those who are gauging the future by

present conditions are solemnly warning us that the proverbial rainy days are ahead and not so far ahead that We shoulrl not begin immediate preparation for them. The good times for the present are abnor- mal; property is being destroyed daily by millions in value; the stress of war makes it imperative that this destruction be made good at whatever cost; we cannot wait to haggle over prices; we must have thegoods-munitions, clothing, fuel, food, steel and iron, transportation at a feverish rate must be kept going day and night no matter what the cost is. From these _the money is_ flowing freely and it is being spent as freely as it comes.

This recklessiiess is a sowing of the

wind and if persisted in, will bring the proverbial harvest, a whirlwind. We have no desire to raise spectres or to paint pes- simistic pictures but a common sense View of the situation should convince the niosi._ reckless that the present abundance is ab--' normal and therefore cannot last, indeell the probabilit_v is that it will not only noi. last but that it will be followed by a period in which the o osite extreme will be thc

monly known as the Hindenburg line

_should include not only these special _bas-

tioiis but the general defensive position running southward to Laon and the Aisne. This line, to the south of Bullecourt was, as already stated, crossed at several points in the spring of 1917. ~

This line stopped us in 1917. On what

do we base our hopes of' breaking through it now? There are several reasons. First,

l . . our unity of command which enables us to

attack the line .on any part of the whole front, thus confusing the German com- mand and destroying the German army as is at present being done; second in 191' the Germans withdrew voluntarily saving their army and guns, thi stime they are being driven back, broken, losing heavily in men and material; third, oui' contiir ually- increasing reserves in men and ma- terial while those of the Germans are steadily decreasing. It is known that when the Germans launched their great offen sive in Mai'ch they had less material of al. sorts than they needed; they have muci less now as they lost very heavily in th' recoil to the Vesle and Canal du Nord. li addition to these things the coiifussiiiif nature of the Allied attacks, and the denz oralizing effects of the hammer blows now being inflicted upon them prevents then. from pulling themselves together and pre- paring for an effective counter attack. They have already been tactically beaten: they have lost -the initiative before a gen- eral, who has out-generalled them. _

-l-)0(---- PR0l¢I.I<1M 01° PRICE v0N'i‘ROI.

Mr. Herbert Hoover, Food Administra-

tor of the United States, has expressed his views in regard to prices as follows:

“Prices must be held highenough ' to

maintain production. The cost of produc- tion and, therefore, the necessary price is not the same in every district, nor in every plant in the same district, nor in the same plant at different seasons. To cut the price to the point which will give no more than a fair return to those in the most favour- able situation_ will cut off a great many whose production is needed. To offer pric- es that will give a profit in every case will permit inordinate profits for some.

“In settling upon fair prices a level is

to be sought which will keep substantially the whole industry going. There is usually a fringe of production that we must get along without. It would not do to raise the price to everybody, say, 25 per cent to make it worth while for a few growers on the edge of production to increase the tot- al by a small fraction.

“On the other hand, as in the packing in-

pp f _ _ 'dustr_y, a price level that would be sufiic-

rule_ Ever since the days of the amine iii Egypt, and probably long before, the in- variable rule has been that fat years were

It will be the part of wisdom to prov1f<_

for the lean years that must in ordinary| course be expected; the part of ordinary; prudence to at least practise as much ec-f onomy during war time as when the world_ was at peace and conditions normal. 1 _.___Q.__.______._ 'rim li|Nl>l-1N|il'i:fi LINE

What is and where is the Hiiiclenbiiife;

Line? Perhaps in the victorious rush of the past week or two we may have forgot- ten that we were “breaking the Hinden- burg Line” away back in April 1917. In` the last week in April 1917 the so called Hindenburg Line was pierced in several places, north of St, Quentin, between Bullecourt and Hindecourt and also in the neighborhood of Craonne farther south. The ground over which the battle is sway- ing today was bloodily contested in those days; in fact the Allied main position was

garther east in 1917 than it is today. Itj

ill be remembered that in 1916 the Ger-'1

-mans abandoned their line west of the Sbiiime and withdrew to a straighter and more defensible line extending roughly from Arras to the Aisne just east of Sois-

sons. We hailed this as a great victory then but we know now that t e German with- drawal was voluntary and that it was an advantage to them. We were unable to drive them out of the position they had chosen. This new defensive line was nam- ed after Hindenburg who had recently as- sumed command.

To protect their positions from Lille

through Douai and Cambrai to St. Quentin

ditions is to establish prices as nearly as may be sufficient to maintain the industry as a who-le and to levy a heavy tax on ex- cess profits.

“The profiteer is abhorent and his prac-

tices can not be condoned, but prices must be allowed at a level that will insure the production required for war needs.”

Gone, `never to return, are the cheap

pre-war prices of clothes. That is the view of an expert writing in a British tradc publication, and he predicts a other rise soon. Every shot fired from a 5 inch gun he -says, uses up half a bale of cotton,.and in three minutes a machine gun will squander a full bale. The price of woolen cloth today is from two and three-quart- ers to three times greater than it was in July, 1914. Linen prices this year, it is stated, probably will keep at -least 33 1-3 per cent above those of 1917. _

TRIBUTE TO A DOG

(By Senator Vest ol’ Missouri)

us, may he ilie first, to throw the ston- es of malice. when failure Bottles its cloud' upon our heads. The one abso- utely unselilsh friend that man can have in uns selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacher- oug is his dog. A man's dog stands by him in prosperity and poverty, in health and sickness. He will sleep on thc cold ground when the winter winds blow,- and the snow drives ilcrcely, if only he- muy be nciir his innsic-r's side. Hr; will kiss the hand that has no food to offer; I-lg will lick the wounds and sores that come in encounter with the roughness ol the world. He guards the sleep of his pauper master as if ho were a prince. When all other friends desert, he re- mains. When iiches take wings and reputation hills to pieces he is as con- stant in blk ioV6'¢¢ 'the sun in ith' journey through tho‘heavens_

--"Is our reputation in the community t-T0¥\Bi‘i\lly ii true indication oi’ our char- aeier'."‘ Robert B. asks. As ii rule a man is estimated in the coinuiunlty in which he lives at his true worth, but there are ii great many exceptions to this rule. A man's character is what he really is, and his reputation what the community thinks of him. Some or lilo host men are the worst abusexl

men. When a ni_an is aggressive and reprovus the sins of the people, cs- pecially when those sins are profit able, he is never popular. Our alin should be to do right and to care little
